This may seem ridiculous, but I'm a 25 year old woman and terrified that I have oral cancer. Today I was getting pain in the side of my tongue towards the back and assumed it was an ulcer (I get ulcers frequently due to stress). I took a look in the mirror and the area is a small black/reddish dot. The dot itself is slightly raised and it's the area surrounding it that hurts the most. It could be a blood blister (I went out for curry last night - though it wasn't very spicy) but I am convincing myself it is tongue cancer, particularly as it is such a dark color. I watched a video a few days ago about a man in his thirties who had a pain in his tongue and next thing he knew his tongue had to be taken out and he was given months to live.
I feel sick. The side of my tongue is throbbing and feels tingly as I write this. Everybody I've spoken to has said it will go soon and that it's nothing but I can't seem to believe them. I've spent the afternoon in tears.
Anybody else had anything similar?
Thanks very much !
